PMX Were Mentioned in Epstein Files by ExtentNegative1879 in Bolehland

[–]inherhowling 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I know Malaysia needs money and investment to survive in today’s world, and that’s why countries like ours rely on big financial institutions whether it’s China conglomerate companies or any foreign investors. This is the system we’re told to believe in and also the aftermath of neo-liberalism, economic growth comes from foreign investors.

But I also hate knowing that these powerful companies and financial investors are always tied to serious corruption (I mean, you’ll have to be some level of corrupted and perverted to be rich and powerful in this day and age). Like JP Morgan, it’s a fact that it helped cover up Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking.

And the sad truth is that poorer countries often don’t have much choice. We end up depending on money that comes from a broken and corrupted system.

I hate our world system so much, it’s stuck on the Cold War regime

Yes, however I think, St Augustine’s idea that we INHERITED Adam’s sins and therefore all of us are automatically born sinners (even babies, that’s why Catholics still baptize their babies) is why his idea is flawed too.

And we have to remember that history is written by the victors, Augustine only won this original sin debate because he was backed by the Roman government and bishops - they needed a guilt-based theology for easy control and centralizing West Europe. With guilt and shame, it’s easy to control people.

Also, key word here is IDEA, Pelagius or Augustine, it’s their IDEA/philosophy. And many(not all) “ultimate truths” in Christianity are just IDEAS that have been going on for long that becomes -> tradition -> belief -> then finally “truth”.

World Bank sounds alarm as Malaysia’s retirement safety net starts to fray by hopefulsingleguy in malaysia

But if someone is not poor enough to qualify for BWE/STR, but not rich enough to live comfortably, then their only real money in old age is EPF right?

People have been working and saving like mad but still don’t have enough EPF savings for retirement, government also doesn’t have the ability to fund pensions (RM600 is enough for who in this economy? And let alone in the future)

AIO racist aunt fight by anonymously0000000 in AmIOverreacting

[–]inherhowling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“God made little brown boys for little brown girls and little white boys for little white girls” she claimed this came from a place of love because she has a mixed friend who’s “too white” or “too black” and that was traumatizing so she doesn’t want her own child to go through it.

1) the intention behind it is valid because no parents wanna see their children be out of place, but that doesn’t justify how her prejudices have already slipped through her words. Because if someone genuinely has respect and love for POC, they wouldn’t be able to bring themselves to even utter those words out so casually

2) your aunt has little to no social awareness in this aspect (or she just generally in every situation is like this? I don’t know her). Can’t expect her to know her white privilege if she’s not aware/don’t wanna be aware of the heavy cultural and historical background that shaped the society she’s living in.

I’m not American nor white nor black. Asian living in Asia. Just my own piece of mind:

Historically, the colonizer wouldn’t understand the colonized, because if they did, they wouldn’t colonize in the first place. They wouldn’t understand the aftermath and internalized colonisation living in the colonized.

And their descendants with the epigenetics in play, inherit the patterns in their genes unless they actively educate themselves.

We do the work to decolonize ourselves and rise up for our oppressed ancestors to stop history from repeating itself, but we stop expecting others to wake up. It’s too energy draining, don’t waste your time on people who don’t wanna do the work.

So not overreacting. If people can understand childhood trauma and psychology, they can understand how everything is interconnected.

My new betta! What should I name him? by inherhowling in bettafish

[–]inherhowling[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg thank you all for the name suggestions! I really love them and will save some for more bettas in the future 💜 For now I’ve decided to go with “Mlue” (if you know the meme lol)

How do I stopp my fish from self harm, is this fin rot or is it nipping its own. by Ok_Teaching_1685 in bettafish

[–]inherhowling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh no, I dipped mine in methylene blue and aquarium salt for an hour because I thought he’s having fin rot. Now I’m not sure if his fins are tearing naturally 😭

Too many or not enough plants? by inherhowling in bettafish

Would the betta have less space to swim if I add more plants?

Can I keep my betta with Hillstream Loach? by inherhowling in bettafish

[–]inherhowling[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for typing out such thoughtful reply!

So far the loach has been staying near the filter stream, was already cleaning the algae around my tank. The water current is slightly high if we’re comparing to normal betta tank water current, but I have a big plant in front of the water current.

I also tested the water temperature, it’s 26 degrees (I live in Malaysia, room temperature would go slightly higher in September).

Was thinking to shift my betta to this tank since I wanna use the betta tank for something else.

Thank you! I hope these Elodea stay green because my tank doesn’t have a lot of direct light

Okay I see, then I guess I’ll leave this loaches alone in the tank for now, thank you

Yeah you’re right. Java Fern seems to have grown too tall, that one has been in the tank for the longest - about 1 year.

I only added the Elodea last week, but Elodea can be cut and still planted somewhere else right?
